From what I can remember you don't need a license key unless you are doing advanced stuff like programming keys or changing the computer. Also you can get the free limited license for 2 months at a time by emailing them why you need it.

I think they said they do this to help prevent people from using the program for bad things, and to keep new users away from things that might ruin their car.

What are you trying to do with FORSCAN?

Cut off the daytime running lights..

Cut off the daytime running lights..

Depending on the year it might not be a option, I had to wire a relay to my headlight switch and than cut the wire leading to the smart junction box (interior fuse panel) and bypass the DRL that way.

Here is some more information on a post i created last year to deal with the DRL being on all the time in my 2007.

2007 Taurus, Disable DRL (Daytime Running Lights)

I have 2013..

DRL on a 2013 Taurus can be turned off with a bi dictional scan tool. If you have a shop that you have a good relationship with, they should be able to do it for you.

Also the DRL are in the BCM. I though FORScan can disable them.

 

[hiramh67]

What's a BCM..and you are telling that I don't need the forscan setup to shutoff the DRL's?

 

[javaleo]

BCM is Body Control Module. (the fuse box under the dash to the left of the stearing wheel) It is programable. Either a bi-directional scan tool, or FORScan should be able to disable/enable DRL. BCM is the module that controls the DLRs and it is one of the settings in it that enables/disables DRL. It also does fog lights, head lights, turn signals, and a lot of other stuff.

I know the fusebox that you are talking about...you think removing the fuse will work without causing any harm to the computer or the car?
